    Formatting individual text boxes in a locked document
    Text boxes in a locked document.

    I am wondering if you can change the color and size if the font in an inserted text box in a locked document. I am creating a form to be filled online and having trouble changing the color and size. I have not been able to find help in Word either. I would like to have this document completed by June 1, 2008.

    Thanks.

    You have to unlock the document first, then relock it.

    Thank you Clough for moving my question. I am new so I wasn't sure how to place the question under the appropriate category. I followed the instructions but the box for asking a question wasn't there.

    Thank you Scott for your response as well. I have tried this. I have been in the unlocked document and gone the font section of the text box and save it as blue. After I lock the document either the changes didn't apply or it is not an option to do this. Have you ever done this before?
